Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2729: Chapter 3: Anye Bao Sheng Goes to the Sacred Domain (Part 3)

Gu Qiuqiu led the clan elders to grandly welcome Gu Qiuqiu into the Gu Family Ancestral Home, treating him with the highest standard of etiquette.

Moreover, Ji Kunlun specially adhered to the etiquette of a junior and paid a visit to Gu Family’s [Old Ancestor Ming Phoenix], showing a degree of respect in his demeanor.

After all, the Old Ancestor Ming Phoenix was ultimately a Sacred Supreme figure, even within the Tranquil Sky Divine King Palace, he was of the family elder rank, a major figure not to be underestimated in the expert-filled Luojing.

This was followed by a lively welcoming feast.

After the feast was over, Gu Qiuqiu led Ji Kunlun into the study, personally brewed Immortal Tea for him, and, as per his request, set up the necessary Isolation Array Method.

Ji Kunlun was still very young, not yet eleven hundred years old, only a few decades older than Shouzhe. As for his Bloodline Talent, after inheriting the Sacred Image, he reached the Peak Class C level of a Saint, currently at the Peak Level Seven cultivation base of the Transcendent Void Realm, it would take at most five or six hundred years to achieve True Immortal status.

Such an exceptionally talented figure, there are only a few like him in the entire Eastern Dawn God Continent, his status naturally exceptionally noble.

Therefore, while the two were drinking tea, Ji Kunlun sat in the honored seat, whereas Gu Qiuqiu, as the host, courteously sat in the secondary seat.

Enjoying the massage from the maidservants, Ji Kunlun relaxed his brow and casually mentioned the main issue: ”Brother Qiuqiu, to be frank, this time I’ve come to the Tianxing Sacred Dynasty to request a favor.”

”Please speak, Young Master Kunlun.” Gu Qiuqiu straightened up, solemnly said, ”As long as it’s within the capabilities of our Gu Family, we will certainly spare no effort.”

”You are the local influence of a nearby Sacred Dynasty, I need your help to keep an eye on someone.”

Upon discussing the main issue, Ji Kunlun’s eyes became sharp.

He took out a portrait from the Storage Ring, the woman in the portrait had a delicate appearance, a serene temperament, graceful figure, exuding an aura of elegance and charm.

Gu Qiuqiu glanced at it and perceived her as extraordinary, his expression turning a bit puzzled: ”This woman’s demeanor is exceptional, seems not to be an ordinary person, what is her name?”

Ji Kunlun’s eyes gleamed coldly: ”Yin Lingzhu!”

”What?”

Gu Qiuqiu’s hands trembled, almost dropping the portrait.

Having traveled through Luojing, he naturally heard of Yin Lingzhu’s reputation. She was the most esteemed lady of Heaven Pillar Saint King Mansion, also the direct successor of the Taoist Master Taichu!

Objectively speaking, in Gu Qiuqiu’s eyes, Yin Lingzhu’s status and identity were indeed above Ji Kunlun. She was essentially the confirmed successor of Primordial Taoist Palace, whereas Ji Kunlun’s inheritance of the Old Ancestor Dao Book depended on his future development and their Old Ancestor’s mood, when compared, the gap was obvious.

”Brother Qiuqiu, having some difficulty?”

Ji Kunlun glanced at him, still leisurely sipping tea, appearing calm and composed, only the half-open eyes glistened with discreet light, seemingly concealing a hint of danger.

”Young Master Kunlun.” Gu Qiuqiu swallowed hard, honestly said, ”Our Gu Family is a humble and small family, how dare we provoke the disciples of Taoist Master’s legacy?”

”I’m merely asking you to track her whereabouts, not to eliminate her, why so tense?” Ji Kunlun chuckled, patting Gu Qiuqiu on the shoulder, ”Besides, should any trouble occur, my Tranquil Sky Divine King Palace will handle it, absolutely won’t implicate your Gu Family.”

These words, Gu Qiuqiu believed the first half.

Unless Ji Kunlun was insane, he certainly wouldn’t dare to kill Yin Lingzhu, most likely wanting to thwart some plan of hers or cause obstacles.

But he absolutely didn’t believe the second half.

Once an issue arises, all blame would likely be shifted to the Gu Family, and the Tranquil Sky Divine King Palace would clear themselves entirely.

But the problem is, now that Ji Kunlun told him this matter, if he doesn’t assist, it means to completely offend Ji Kunlun...

Gu Qiuqiu found himself in a dilemma.

To help or not to help?

”Haha, Brother Qiuqiu, I heard the situation in the entire Tianxing Sacred Dynasty is quite dire lately?” Ji Kunlun changed the subject.

”Alas~”

Mentioning this, Gu Qiuqiu was full of helplessness: ”That Tianrui Saint Dynasty, who knows how they got so lucky, closely cooperating with the newly emerged foreign Shenwu Sacred Alliance, be it grain varieties or Spiritual Medicine cultivation, or industries like Artifact Refining and Alchemy, they’ve seen major development through collaboration.”

”They earn greatly, yet have caused significant blows to our various industries in Tianxing Sacred Dynasty. Especially the agriculture and alchemy industries, it’s like being swept by a storm. If this continues, the situation between the two dynasties will inevitably turn into their strength over our weakness, Tianxing’s future is worrying.”

”Our Old Ancestor Ming Phoenix has discussed with His Majesty the Saint Emperor, planning to find a middleman to mediate, aiming for reconciliation with Tianrui, so that our Tianxing Sacred Dynasty may follow and sustain ourselves.”

Gu Qiuqiu’s words were filled with discontent, evidently unsatisfied with such a result.

”Heh~ Shenwu Sacred Alliance...” Ji Kunlun sneered, ”I heard there’s someone named ’Wang Shouzhe’ over there, in the early days of doing business, even impersonated a noble prince of Divine Dynasty?”

”This... can’t be considered impersonation.” Gu Qiuqiu hesitated slightly, ”That Wang Shouzhe never actively claimed to be a noble prince, it’s just his extraordinary talent, extravagant spending, and grand style that leads everyone to such speculation. But I’ve also heard, his demeanor...”
